What animals Americans think they could take

Honestly a pretty funny read. Elephants not having the lowest percentage is pretty wild.

Beating a grizzly bear in a fight isn't unprecedented. However, great apes and elephants I'd say you're chances are nil.

I think most people are overconfident about their odds against swans and geese

Davey Crockett killed him a bear when he was only three.

Swans and Geese ! Well add turkeys to that too then! They can really tear up an area if they want.

*Maybe* survive, but no way a human is beating an elephant or gorilla in a fight.

I do not even know about survive. A gorilla could literally rip an adults arms off.

Clearly they sampled a bunch of drunk bros from Jersey.

A healthy adult grizzly? I'm skeptical. Mike Tyson is his prime wouldn't last a half minute against a grizzly that wanted him dead. People's ignorance of wild animals is why there are multiple fatalities every year due to bison, those big shaggy lovable looking creatures.

Those first two stories are definitely in the category of surviving a grizzly attack, not defeating one in a fight. Now the third one is interesting, it didn't say anything about the condition of the bear. As I made sure to stipulate, I'm skeptical of a human defeating a healthy adult grizzly and if I had to bet, that bear was in poor condition. Many predatory bear attacks are a result of an old bear that can no longer find enough food as he's accustomed to, but who knows? Fascinating story.

With 96.8% of people, it should be flat zero's across the board...

I'm also gonna contend that moose are WAAAAYYYY too low on that list. A freaking bull moose in the rut will mindlessly stomp you into the mud. I'm sorry, there is NO WAY 54% of our population can take down a moose.

Someone needs to create a version of this for the OB. Set some ground rules, and lets see the results of the poll.

We're talking barehanded, right? No way anyone could take an elephant. Dogs, cats, and most birds would be no contest though.

Yeah the extremes here are very odd. Forget the people who think they can take an elephant. 28% don't think they can take a mouse? No chance these people contribute anything positive to society.

That's a different question you're looking at, not what people think they could fight.
